As the great horse suffocated, perspiration appeared on his body, and he threw his legs hither and thither.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

By Kṛṣṇa’s arm which completely expanded (sam—edhamānena) Keśī’s’ breathing was blocked. He expanded his arm till Keśī’s body burst. By that, the demon died. Nārada says in Hari-vaṁśa: yat tvayā pāṭitaṁ dehaṁ bhujenānata-parvaṇā eśo ‘sya mṛtyur ahnāya vihito viśva-yoniṇā When your arm extending to your knee made his body fall, he quickly died by the creator’s will.
